Lost Pet
If You Have Lost a Pet
- Search for your pet on foot and by car. Check with your neighbors, mail carriers, walkers, etc.
- Post lost pet notices on bulletin boards with a complete description of your pet and a picture. A picture is very helpful in locating a missing pet.
- Come to the Animal Shelter in person. YOU are the only one who can positively identify your pet. Fill out a missing pet report at the shelter.
- You must renew your lost or found animal report in person EVERY TWO WEEKS with the Paradise Animal Shelter or your report will be deleted.
- Post on Social Media sites, especially on your "Zone" page and ask friends to share.
- Advertise in local newspapers.
- Check the lost and found in local newspapers.
- Check with local veterinarians and emergency clinics. Occasionally people will bring an injured animal they have found to a veterinary hospital for treatment.
Prevention
- LICENSE your dog and keep identification on your pet at all times.
- Train your pet to come when you call.
- Walk your dog on a leash.
- Spay/Neuter your pet.
- Micro-chip your pet. All pets are scanned when they enter the shelter.
